That Did Not Take Long! Madonna and Alex Rodriguez, A-Rod, Are Romantic

Only this morning did Madonna's spokeswoman announce that her marriage to Guy Ritchie was over after 7 1/2 years and now only a few hours later, it is announced that Madonna and A-Rod are romantic, according to Us Magazine. Boy, that did not take long!

According to an insider, "Guy is not involved in this equation. With or without A-Rod, Madonna and Guy haven't been 'together' for over a year - they have been privately separated. Madonna, however, wanted to finish her world tour before divorcing." I bet that hurts Guy, especially the part about him not being involved.

Madonna and Guy Ritchie Splitting Up

British newspapers are reporting that Madonna and Guy Ritchie are splitting up and want a divorce to be completed by Christmas. A statement on the couple's future will soon be released, according to The Daily Mail.

Earlier this year in July, Madonna was rumored to have had a relationship with New York Yankees baseball star Alex Rodriquez. At the time, Alex Rodriguez refused to comment on his relationship with Madonna, and Madonna denied any romantic involvement with the slugger in a statement posted on people.com. "My husband and I are not planning on getting a divorce," Madonna said.

Then, in October of this year, Madonna and Alex were spotted out together sparking new rumors that their affair isn't over yet. Us Magazine reports:

Madonna and New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez took in a cozy dinner for two at Dos Caminos Third Avenue on Tuesday, a source told Usmagazine.com. They pair ate at an alcove-like table in the back.

"They seemed very close," a source told Usmagazine.com.
